“…2 They have been associated with several disorders, the most common of which are bronchopulmonary diseases associated with mucus hypersecretion (asthma, cystic fibrosis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, bronchocentric granulomatosis, and bronchiectasis) and bronchopulmonary infections (tuberculosis, diphtheria, and bacterial pneumonia). 1,[3][4][5] Congenital and acquired cardiopathies have also been implicated in the formation of bronchial casts. 1,3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Seear et al 11 reported on 9 pediatric cases of plastic bronchitis and proposed a system of classification based on the pathological examination of bronchial casts.…”

Bronchial casts in children with cardiopathies: The role of pulmonary lymphatic abnormalities

et al. 1999

Expectoration of bronchial casts, a condition also called plastic bronchitis, is very rare in children. Bronchial casts may be associated with bronchopulmonary diseases associated with mucus hypersecretion, bronchopulmonary bacterial infections, congenital and acquired cardiopathies, or pulmonary lymphatic abnormalities. A classification based on anatomy and pathology has been proposed which identifies an “acellular” group associated with congenital cardiopathies and palliative surgery. We report on 3 cases with bronchial casts associated with cardiopathy. Observations suggest that the formation of bronchial casts may result from lymphatic leakage into the bronchi. The 3 cases on which we report were immunodeficient and had pulmonary lymphatic abnormalities. The bronchial casts contained lymphocytes and lipids, as determined by histologic examination. In the absence of congenital pulmonary or diffuse lymphatic dysplasia associated with cardiopathy, the principal factors resulting in the formation of bronchial casts appear to be surgical trauma to the lymphatic channels surrounding the bronchi, pleural adhesions, and high systemic venous blood pressure. The prognosis for these patients is poor, and possibilities for treatment are limited. Pediatr Pulmonol. 1999;28:329–336. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

“…Documented as early as Galen in 131-200 A.D. [3,4], plastic bronchitis is uncommon in children, with only 40 cases reported before 1985 and 72 cases before 1989 [5]. Initial disease mechanisms focused on tuberculosis infection, atopy, and asthma [3,4,[6][7][8]. Gross examination of expectorated or mechanically removed casts demonstrated homogenous, cylindrical entities involving multiple branching airway generations [4].…”
